    Not that anyone cares but I've switched away from Froglube and to Lucas Oil gun lube. Lucas has been doing great too but hasn't been used in the cold yet. I'm sure it'll be fine.

    If you are a one or two gun type person and can follow directions perfectly you should be fine with Froglube (also veggy based but not getting the internet hate right now). Just get rid of any other petroleum based lubes and cleaners.

    When fireclean first came out, the bottles had use by dates on them.

    That was enough for me to never use the stuff.

    Also on the bottle it says cleaner lubricant. Nowhere does it say protects

    Hydrogenated vegetable oil was first developed by the Germans for use as a non-smoking lube for their submarines before WWI. After the war, it was discovered and purchased by a US food company and marketed as a food item. This is when the advertising campaign was started to convince American consumers that lard was bad and Crisco was good. We are constantly getting lied to.

    I wonder if butter flavored Crisco will make my rifle smell like popcorn? I keep forgetting to try it......Regular Crisco is a great gun lube.

    Yesway, thankfully Andrew beat them! Vuurwapen Blog rocks and Fireclean can go back to whatever they were doing beforehand. I had no problem with them before all this but now I will never buy it.
